Michael Chaplin is a familiar and distinguished
figure in the art world, nationally as well as internationally
for his outstanding talents as a painter, etcher, writer, teacher
and more recently as television personality on the extremely
successful Watercolour Challenge on Channel Four. He is about
to embark on his third series, having entered on a new stage
in his teaching career which now reaches over 2.5 million budding
artists a day. His book Mike Chaplins Expressive Watercolours
will be published by Harper Collins in the autumn.

Originally trained at Watford School
of Art where he studied graphic design, Michael went on to complete
a postgraduate course in printmaking at Brighton College of Art.
Whilst at Brighton he was elected as one of the youngest ever
associates of the Royal Watercolour Society, becoming a full
member in 1997. Thus he fulfilled a life long ambition to become
a professional painter, a desire he conceived from the age of
12. In both painting and printing Michael remains a figurehead
of the British scene, with his work held in both private and
public collection world wide. He continues to teach and run residential
schools throughout Britain and further afield, this year in Lucca.
